Glenna Phelps- Aurich, Executive Director of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, recently presented the Business of the Week Award to Alex Wright and the Wright Law Firm.
WoSterling is not even close to where Alex Wright saw himself when he began attending law school in San Diego, Calif. in 1993, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wo“The people of Sterling have been absolutely fantastic. They really have welcomed me and my family with open arms, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else,” Wright said.
WoWright was born and raised in Denver and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Because he wanted to practice in San Diego, he attended California Western School of Law in San Diego, where he was named to the Dean’s List and honored as a member of the Pro Bono Honors Society, as well as being featured in Who’s Who Among American Law Students in both his second and third years.
WoWright also interned for the San Diego City Attorney’s Office where he was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for “outstanding and exemplary performance.”
WoAfter passing the California bar exam on his first attempt, Wright practiced law in San Diego for a couple of years, but the draw of family brought him back to Colorado.
WoWright practiced law in Denver for eight years, during which his three daughters were born, then chose to pick up and move his family to Sterling. “I decided that I wanted to raise my girls in a small town so they could learn those values that really can be instilled only in small-town America,” Wright said.
WoThe perfect opportunity presented itself when Wright saw a job opening that Baxter Arnold posted in The Colorado Lawyer, a publication sent to members of the Colorado Bar Association.
WoWright researched Sterling and Logan County and decided that it would be the perfect fit. The job turned into a partnership between Arnold and Wright that continued until Arnold retired in 2010.
WoSince then, Wright has continued to practice in Northeast Colorado, and his base remains in Sterling, although with success that has been recognized statewide.
WoSince 2019, Wright has been recognized as a Top 100 Civil Plaintiff lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers and a Top 100 Civil Litigation attorney by the Association of American Trial Lawyers.
WoWright also is a member of the prestigious Lawyers of Distinction and Top Tier Lawyers. Wright says that “these honors are more humbling than anything. I see them, not as accomplishments, but as something to live up to every day.”
WoIn addition to his law practice, Wright has dedicated himself to public service. He has served as President of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce (twice), Logan County Economic Development Corporation, Sterling Rotary Club and Sterling Kiwanis Club (twice).
WoWright also has served as Chairman of the Logan County Republicans and Vice Chairman of the Sterling Citizens Advisory Board, as well as on the Board of Directors for many other local organizations.
WoWright Law Firm can be contacted at 111 Main St. in Sterling or by phone at (970) 526-6767. Their website is www.awrightlawfirm.com, and they welcome people to like them on Facebook.

Job Openings And Economic Recovery
The worker shortage crisis has kicked into another gear. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported today there were 10.1 million job openings in the economy at the end of June. This is by far the record amount of job openings the economy has ever had. This historically elevated level makes clear that we have a severe worker shortage that threatens what should be a prolonged economic... . ..

Infrastructure Investment Is Vital
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Suzanne Clark issued the following statement after the Senate passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: “Our elected leaders are on the precipice of a historic investment in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. Turning this long-overdue promise into a reality will grow our economy and strengthen our competitiveness for decades to come. We applaud the Senate for doing its job on a bipartisan basis, thoughtfully debating and passing much-needed infrastructure legislation that will finally invest in America’s roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure, create millions of jobs, and improve the quality of life for every American. Now it is time for the House to continue the bipartisan progress and send this bill to the president’s desk.... . .. . .. .. . Infrastructure

Job Quality In Colorado
Employers and workers need one another to thrive. Employers need dedicated workers to carry out their goals and objectives and remain competitive. Workers need good jobs to support themselves and their families, demonstrate and develop their skills, and connect with others around shared goals. Despite this need, too often the balance between good jobs and skilled workers is out of balance. Partners in the TalentFOUND network collaborated to produce the Colorado Job Quality Framework to outline features of a quality job and lay out practical steps local communities, employers, and leaders can take to improve job quality.

Shattered Venue Operators Grant
The SBA launched a splash page for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) application portal. To ensure eligible venues do not miss a window to receive assistance through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the American Rescue Plan Act amended the SVOG program so entities that apply for a PPP loan after Dec. 27, 2020 can also apply for an SVOG, with the eligible entity’s SVOG to be reduced by the PPP loan amount. The PPP loan applications have been updated to reflect this change. However, under the law, entities will be ineligible for a PPP loan after they receive an SVOG.
